I remember the ffxi cinematic so well. It was full of drama with amazing music and it made you really want to play the game.

FFXIV's cinematic on the other hand seems really disjointed and out of touch. It doesn't make you feel like a part of the world or lore, and it focuses too much on the leve system which is outdated and plays no serious part in the game anymore.

So please, create a -really- dramatic cinematic for 2.0.
Kill some kids, split some families apart, nuke some cities, crush some lalafells. Whatever it takes.

Even if the game sucks (I don't think it will), a good opening cinematic will make people want to play it.
